For all Gatland's bleating, the Lions are pretty good at obstructing around the breakdown too...
Hell yeah

@Pot-Hale said in Chiefs v B&I Lions:
Scrum-half - check
Yappy - check
Red hair - check
Must be Scottish - checkThese project players... tsk, tsk.
Very impressive the young fulla.
How long does he sit in the queue before being offered a test cap by the Jocks?

@Baron-Silas-Greenback said in Chiefs v B&I Lions:
I am bloody nervous about these French refs in the tests. They don't seem to red the Lions much at all.
Agreed
Was getting wound up during the game about it. Certainly seemed to have an inherent bias in his rulings. Perhaps based on what he thought should happen.
More on that later

Yelling over the call is fucking stupid. You should be able to punch them.
Boo the kicker? Fuck no, pain of death. Yell over the lineout call like a spastic? Gamesmanship. Hypocrites
Should be penalised

@mariner4life That's an Irish ploy, they do it all the time
They do?
Must have missed that.You watched any Irish rugby? ...

@mariner4life said in Chiefs v B&I Lions:
@taniwharugby they are getting better with the ball, and more accurate at everything. They're not dominating up front but are now finding other ways to dominate games. Loving their defense as well.
They're not dominating up front but they're certainly edging it. And you'd expect that.

@Wreck-Diver said in Chiefs v B&I Lions:
@Pot-Hale Fuck me open both eyes. Every Lions winger is doing the same. Would be nice if a Lions player stayed on their feet at the break down

Lawes is back, AWJ off.
No sub Lawes for Hill. Lawes looks fucked.
Lawes has been impressive. I'd have started him and Kruis on Saturday eith Itoje off tge bench. But I'd have to say two head knocks in two weeks may be enough to earn a plane ride home.

@KiwiMurph said in Chiefs v B&I Lions:
Wonderful try Lions. Chiefs should have taken the 3.
Yep. The two pens they've given up has killed them.
Could have been 12 - 20, now it's game over at 6 - 27
Repeated for effect

Dicked, in every facet of the game.
Was always on the cards.
Can we have the ginge and you have Laidlaw?
You're Welsh. He doesn't feel Welsh.

Do wonder if other teams are using same concussion protocols as us given we seem to have much more players sitting out from head knocks

Yep. That thought had occurred. Was surprised he was back on the field so soon.

I'd assume it was precautionary? The protocols must be the same for all, surely?

@No-Quarter said in Chiefs v B&I Lions:
That should really be red, late and no arms. Cheap shot.
Agree entirely. Very lucky not to see Red.
And how did Biggar not see yellow?
Weak by the ref
Because it was too high to be counted as high. If your man hadn't have slipped just before Biggar was gonski.

Concussion checks take about 10 mins....even precautionary. You would hope everyone is singing off the same sheet.

@Nepia said in Chiefs v B&I Lions:
The Scots must be looking seriously at Christie now.
How long he been in NZ?
Christie's parents emigrated from Scotland to Pukekohe when he was seven and he was schooled at Saint Kentigern College in Auckland, where he caught the eye of the Counties coaches. He represented them at under-19 level in 2014 before moving south to study at the University of Canterbury. It's in Canterbury, playing for the University club, that Christie convinced Ta$man to offer him an NPC contract. He didn't disappoint and featured in ten of their matches in 2016, which included four starts as they reached the Premiership final that ended in defeat to Canterbury. Christie has already attained national sporting honours for New Zealand, but in gymnastics, which he did for nine years. -

So 100% of the Chiefs Samoan internationals backed up from the weekend and appeared in the the Chiefs starting lineup.
0% of the Chiefs Maori ABs were in the Chiefs starting lineup.
Is this conclusive proof that Samoans are harder than Maori?*
*Asking on behalf of a Mike Hosking listener.
Am yet to begin exhaustive research into the the percentage of British players who backed up.
